Company The Panic Room

The opening two rooms are phenomenal and had this on track to be a favorite. Then the color-based puzzles in near-darkness derailed the flow; I’m red/green colorblind, so I stepped back, but even my teammates struggled. Frustration aside, the rest of the puzzles are solid, and it’s a fun 75 minutes in a well-themed spooky house with basically no jump scares—great for horror newbies.

What a smart setup. The mid-room reveal and paradox theme hooked our team, and hearing our earlier selves added real urgency. Puzzles got tough in places and felt refreshingly different from the usual fare.

Loved the concept and the engineering feel of the puzzles. We hit a difficulty spike mid-way but the hint system was fair and didn’t spoil the fun. It’s more about timing and logic than rummaging, which I prefer. Great finish.

I don’t usually book games longer than an hour, but I loved this one. The set looks fantastic, the experience felt slick, and there were very few mechanical locks, which helped since I struggle with them in dimmer light at this venue. Only downside was unclear hints on the very first door, and I was pretty ill so I had to step out partway through.

The aim is to expose the traitor by ruling out suspects, and it’s one of the tougher rooms here. The set is basically an office, packed with logic puzzles and a couple of cool reveals. I’d bring 3–4 people as some tasks take a while, and overall I think other rooms at this venue are stronger.

It’s a compact space that can feel cramped, and the audio puzzle pushed our buttons. That said, the theming is strong and the flow is satisfying; I’d cap it at three players since four felt crowded.

Plenty to chew on and minimal searching, which I prefer. The room looks pretty plain, but the puzzles are solid and run in parallel so everyone stays busy. We escaped with seconds left and big smiles.

The Oz theming is lush and joyful, and the second half genuinely wowed us. Puzzles felt tied to the story, which kept us moving without random busywork. A couple steps were trickier than they first looked, but cracking them was extra sweet.

Theme is fresh and the puzzles click well, but the room is tiny. We were three and it felt just right; I wouldn’t bring more. Still, very charming and worth it.

The Doctor nailed it: funny, oddly sweet, then suddenly unhinged. The game is a bit linear with fairly simple puzzles and a lot of actor guidance, but the theme and immersion more than make up for it. Highly recommend, just don’t expect deep puzzling.
